Great location great property!

We stayed first week of May and it was a fabulous experience! Literally steps from the beach. The cottage was clean and comfortable for our family of four. The kids loved that they could watch free movies before bed time. Having a dedicated parking spot was also a HUGE plus as there is limited parking at the beach. They also had lots of beach toys for the kids, umbrellas, and even beach chairs they let the guests use! We will definitely stay here again!

Electrical Issues & Leaks

Pros: 100ft from nice beach. Blocks away from all the Clearwater Beach restaurants and stores. Challenges: We agreed via the VRBO messaging portal that we'd tack on 2 additional days to the front end of our stay. The night before our family of 5, including 2 young children, was set to arrive, we got a message from the owner saying there was a bookkeeping issue and those 2 day were no longer available. This meant we had to find a new place to stay in less than 24 hours, which unsurprisingly required us to spend more than we had intended. During our 5 day stay, we had electrical issues the majority of the days. Owner suggested, "updated electrical, including outlets," but one will be quick to notice that many of the plugs do not work, are damaged, or relying upon extension cords. The power went out more times than we could count. Owner blamed it on weather, but the outages/surges continued for days after the rain and no other place around us had power out when we did. This resulted in most nights' sleep being disrupted due to outages. In addition, during a period of heavy rain, the leaking was so bad it was pouring through the window by the couch, dripping over the sink, and water puddled at the main entrance. We are a family that knew we signed up for rustic, but this felt beyond rustic to a point of unsafe. We did not feel the owner adequately addressed or owned up to the issues nor did they seem to care much about leaving us high and dry the first 2 nights. Clearwater Beach was wonderful. This unit is not one we'd recommend unless significant attention is given to the electrical and leakage issues. Speaking frankly, I'm shocked some kind of reimbursement was not offered based on what we experienced.

Great location!!! Good communication with property manager and staff. In the description of the property, it does state to not expect a large fancy two bedroom condo. We would agree this is not a fancy condo, but it worked for our family. There were a few minor details that could be updated such as new outlets. Not all of the outlets worked. Overall could just be refreshed.

A perfect home away from home

Perfectly located for walking anywhere in Clearwater Beach. Great for pets, homey, cute and fantastic communication from staff. Instacart deliveries & an equipped kitchen kept us happy for breakfast and lunch. It is not the Ritz but was very clean with fresh linens and plenty of everything you need. Perfect location for beaching with easy walk to dog beach, shopping and food. We will stay here again and you must have coffee & pasteries at Blessed Cup & dinner at Palm Pavillion & Frency's and the Bait House is a must do. Easy, stress free, quiet and homey is the best way to describe our experience. We loved that this proerty was originally from the 20's and how it has been updated to stay beachy and cozy.

Great Location but Property needs some work

This location was wonderful. We were truly within steps of the water and just a short walk to the downtown restaurants/shopping. The bathroom and bedrooms were in good condition. However, starting with the entrance area and into the kitchen area, it was as if they had never been cleaned. The glass front door was totally missing it's shade and the door near the lock/knob was filthy. The stove, microwave and fridge had leftover grease, fingerprints and food from some previous renter. We did clean the outside of the fridge because we had to use it but couldn't quite bring ourselves to cleaning anything else. However, even the fridge was not as shown in the photos for this unit (advertised as Samsung, actually a Maytag) and it was not even keeping anything cold (there was no way for us to change the temp settings). The ice maker DID work! Since we were not going to cook anything during this stay, we decided NOT to contact the property manager to remedy the cleanliness issues during our short stay. We also heard the owner of the property was away so perhaps there wasn't anyone around to check the cleanliness of our unit prior to our arrival. It just looked as though the staff made sure we had clean linens and a clean bathroom and that was the extent of their prep. This is very surprising especially since most properties pride themselves on their cleaning regimens during these days of COVID. In defense of this property, their COVID regimens were never advertised so shame on us for not checking prior to renting. We actually had to sweep the entire unit before we unloaded the car due to the amount of sand and other food debris on the floors. We did leave the sand-covered door mat located outside our unit which remained covered with sand during our entire stay. Clean things up a bit and this could be a very nice unit.

Exactly as described and just what we wanted!

Great location - away from the busy/crowded area and SO close to the beach! Just a short walk or trolley ride to the Pier. Loved having all the beach supplies (cart, cooler, chairs, toys, umbrellas). Air conditioning was cold, we didn't run out of hot water after 5 showers, plenty of storage, the kitchen was great for eating at "home," and we also grilled! We got quick responses when needed, and were thankful for pool access. We were comfortable, relaxed, and never heard any outside noises. It was the laid back easy time we wanted!

Ideal Location in Clearwater

We had a great time staying here with Captain Al as our host. The beach is super accessible (and Captain Al already has beach supplies provided that you can take with you - at no charge). We had not rented a car and we were only a 10-20 minute walk away from many of the great restaurants and attractions there.
